" there there's no question especially playing at home you know to come away. From the two home games from Owen to would have been. Not impossible and then you know you teams in the post season is certainly capable of you know winning -- what you wouldn't be in the post season but I thought it was. It was so important empathy as a one a minute possibly out sort of a helpless feeling. As a manager. Because you're watching you know players were carton and Pedro pretty much diminishing. Their work because it was so good. And today it you know and and to me that was the key is -- Padilla they're just really matching Pedro. And being -- stay close enough so -- get a break something happens but it was very important to. To have that win yesterday and command here that it's really. And it's an interesting phenomenon and one. You know you winning game in postseason play when -- real you play 162 games during the course of the year -- make you feel good but not. You know the way it doesn't post season -- momentum can switch so quickly and you know left handers. Especially left."

" Standards you know again again and Cole Hamels is that same type of guy. You know Cliff Lee. -- and Cleveland. He's he's guys don't show a lot of emotion that you know there's a lot there. Changing speeds changing speeds I was fortunate enough to come to the big leagues in 1961. And is able to catch a guy like warrants on. And he taught me a long time ago about you know. The hitting is timing and the pitcher's job is to upset that timing and I and I think that you know Cliff Lee is that type of guy and yet he has enough giddy up on his fastball and he's more than just that. Remember back in again -- you know talking about things. You know a lot of people in the Truman never born but. You know Bob Gibson pitched in San Francisco. If you read or watch and enjoy especially when -- on his side there's nobody wanted to hit against. Yeah hitting a little bit tougher the tough thing about pitching is obviously the field all -- gets really cold and all of a sudden. The ball becomes a little slicker and remain happy it will. Have the command you'd like to have especially if your protection field. So it affects both but I weigh in on I don't know many hitters really enjoys that he uncle."

I'll talk about first timlin -- the biggest case of all the arbitration eligible players in 2010. The setup though in 2008 when Ryan Howard . That gave the Philadelphia Phillies . And 110 million dollar arbitration victory the biggest victory in history of arbitration . For first time eligible player. Tim Lincecum is soon gonna break that record once he goes into the boardroom what the club estimated they limited number of eight million dollars. The players -- number of thirteen million dollars. Now the arbitration panel of three when they're done here in the case we'll have to either pick eight million or thirteen million they can't pick a number in between. But it Ryan Howard . He went and it is award with -- MVP and a rookie of the year award. And he got ten million. Tim Lincecum is gonna walk into the room with two Cy Young awards. Our record of 4217. You walk is -- to award a record of 4217. I think he's gonna get paid more than Ryan Howard hit the San Francisco Giants are forced to walk into the arbitration room they have three alternatives. The first one is to settle the case in the Rome. If they can get a deal

we think he should be the highest paid pitcher ever -- arbitration . We agree this guys want to -- down so we agree his record of forty and seventeen is amazing. It's 676. Strikeouts as a star but then make it an industry case and try to argue the fact. That eight million dollars a year will be more than an. Any pictures ever made history of baseball the first time eligible and that that numbers more appropriate than another record which would be thirteen million dollars. A look at the arbitration records over the last five years the owners have won seventeen case that the players have won ten. Does that mean the clubs have won. No it doesn't the players have actually won because every year they win that one case. That changes the entire market for the next class the following year so even this year they lose all cases if they win the Tim Lincecum case. They really well one of arbitration . Because the bar will look instead at a new level for all future arbitration cases. -- the history of salary arbitration . It started in 1974. When Reggie Jackson broke the record in arbitration waited about a 135000. Dollars. Then in 2008 Ryan Howard get the ten million dollars award and in 2010. Might call that Tim Lincecum gonna win his case. At thirteen million dollars so we've gone from a 13501974. To thirteen million in 2010. That's arbitration process has worked for the players.
